As useful information in medicinal chemistry, the thermodynamics of transfer of drug Ketoprofen (KTP) is a non-steroidal anti- compounds can be studied by measuring the rational inflammatory drug widely used in the treatment of several partition coefficient as a function of temperature. Such data inflammatory and painful events (Hanson, 2000). Although can be used for the prediction of absorption, membrane KTP is widely used nowadays in therapeutics, the permeability, and in vivo drug distribution (Betageri et al., physicochemical information about transfer processes of 1996). 602 H. R. Lozano, F. Martínez Semi-polar solvents have been found to yield better obtained values of the corresponding thermodynamic correlations with partitioning of solutes obtained in model transfer functions, an interpretation based on solute-solvent membranes compared to non-polar solvents such as interactions was developed. Therefore, the present study is cyclohexane (CH), which interacts only by non-specific a continuation of a previously presented (Lozano, forces (London interactions). In particular, octanol (ROH) Martínez, 2006). has been found to be a useful solvent as the reference for extrathermodynamic studies in a variety of systems (Leo et THEORETICAL al., 1971; Diamond, Katz, 1974; Sangster, 1997), m Isopropyl myristate (IPM) has also been used. This solvent The partition coefficient (K o/w) expressed in molality, acts as a hydrogen acceptor as well, and it has been used for any solute between organic and aqueous phases is especially for determining hydrophobic constants since it calculated by means of: simulates most closely the corneum stratum/water partition (Barker, Hadgraft, 1981; Dal Pozzo et al., 1991). IPM is (1) best related to skin/transdermal absorption because of its polar and non-polar balance simulates the complex nature where, Ww and Wo are the masses (usually in g) of aqueous (polar/non-polar matrix) of the skin (Jaiswal et al., 1999). and organic phases, respectively, and C1 and C2 are the On the other hand, chloroform (CHL) has also been used in aqueous concentrations of solute (usually in mg mL–1) before this kind of studies since it acts mainly as a hydrogen donor and after the transfer of the solute from the aqueous phase to for establishing hydrogen bonds with solutes (Baena et al., the organic medium, respectively (Avila, Martínez, 2003). X 2004a). The rational partition coefficients (Ko/w, in mole fraction) are m However, the octanol/water system has proven to be calculated from K o/w values as: a poor model system for several drug transport processes as well as for correlating pharmacokinetic parameters. On (2) the other hand, when analyzing the behavior of several drugs, the liposome systems have shown to discriminate where, Mo and Mw are the molar masses of the organic and branched solutes regarding bulk systems such as oil/water. aqueous phases, respectively (Diamond, Katz, 1974). This has been found especially in the case of some phenols The standard change for Gibbs free energy of transfer (Rogers, Davis, 1980; Anderson et al., 1983), of a solute from an aqueous phase to an organic medium is phenotiazines (Ahmed et al., 1981, 1985), beta-blockers calculated as follows: (Betageri, Rogers, 1987), and non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (Betageri et al., 1996). In addition, (3) dipyridamole partitioning was higher in liposomes than in octanol (Betageri, Dipali, 1993), as well as for mefloquine, Otherwise, the enthalpy change for the transfer may quinine, and other antimalarial drugs (Go et al., 1995, be obtained directly by thermometric titration 1997), also for some sulfonamides (Martínez, Gómez, microcalorimetry or in the case of liquid/liquid systems, 2002), and benzocaine (Avila, Martínez, 2003). For these indirectly as the difference of the respective heats of reasons, different liposome types have been used combined solution in each one of the phases, which may be obtained to organic solvents for partitioning experiments in order to by solution calorimetry (Baena et al., 2004b).

  • Henry's Law Constants and Micellar Partitioning of Volatile Organic
    38 J. Chem. Eng. Data 2000, 45, 38-47 Henry’s Law Constants and Micellar Partitioning of Volatile Organic Compounds in Surfactant Solutions Leland M. Vane* and Eugene L. Giroux United States Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, 26 West Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 Partitioning of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into surfactant micelles affects the apparent vapor- liquid equilibrium of VOCs in surfactant solutions. This partitioning will complicate removal of VOCs from surfactant solutions by standard separation processes. Headspace experiments were performed to quantify the effect of four anionic surfactants and one nonionic surfactant on the Henry’s law constants of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, toluene, and tetrachloroethylene at temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 °C. Although the Henry’s law constant increased markedly with temperature for all solutions, the amount of VOC in micelles relative to that in the extramicellar region was comparatively insensitive to temperature. The effect of adding sodium chloride and isopropyl alcohol as cosolutes also was evaluated. Significant partitioning of VOCs into micelles was observed, with the micellar partitioning coefficient (tendency to partition from water into micelle) increasing according to the following series: trichloroethane < trichloroethylene < toluene < tetrachloroethylene. The addition of surfactant was capable of reversing the normal sequence observed in Henry’s law constants for these four VOCs.

  • Solvation Structure of Ions in Water
    International Journal of Thermophysics, Vol. 28, No. 2, April 2007 (© 2007) DOI: 10.1007/s10765-007-0154-6 Solvation Structure of Ions in Water Raymond D. Mountain1 Molecular dynamics simulations of ions in water are reported for solutions of varying solute concentration at ambient conditions for six cations and four anions in 10 solutes. The solutes were selected to show trends in properties as the size and charge density of the ions change. The emphasis is on how the structure of water is modified by the presence of the ions and how many water molecules are present in the first solvation shell of the ions. KEY WORDS: anion; cation; molecular dynamics; potential functions; solva- tion; water. 1. INTRODUCTION The behavior of aqueous solutions of salts is a topic of continuing interest [1–3]. In this note we examine how the structure of water,as reflected in the oxy- gen–oxygen pair function, is modified as the concentration of ions increases. The method of generating the pair functions is molecular dynamics using the SPC/E model for water [4] and various models for ion–water interactions taken from the literature. The solutes are LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, NaF, CaCl2, CaSO4,Na2SO4, NaNO3, and guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) [C(NH2)3Cl]. This work is an extension of earlier work [5] to a larger set of ions. The water molecules and ions interact through site–site pair interac- tions consisting of Lennard–Jones potentials and Coulomb interactions so that the interaction between a pair of sites labeled i, j and separated by an interatomic distance r is 12 6 φij (r) = 4ij (σij /r) − (σij /r) + qiqj /r (1) where qi is the charge on site i.

Molecular recognition, a fundamental molecular process in living systems, is known to be the functional mechanism of most drugs. Solvents play an essential role in molecular recognition processes as well as in ligand−protein interactions. The 3D-RISM theory is derived from the fundamental statistical mechanics theory, which reproduces all solvation thermodynamics naturally and has some advantages over conventional solvation methods, such as molecular simulation and the continuum model. Here, we review the basics of the 3D-RISM theory and methods of molecular recognition in its applications toward drug design.

The experimental estimation of partition coefficients in a complex system can be an expensive, difficult, and time-consuming process. Here a computa- tional strategy to predict the distributions of a set of solutes in two relevant phase equilibria is presented. The octanol/water and octanol/air partition coefficients are predicted for a group of polar solvents using density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with a solvation model based on density (SMD) and are in excellent agreement with experimental data. Thus, the use of quantum-chemical calculations to predict partition coefficients from free energies should be a valuable alternative for unknown solvents. The obtained results indicate that the SMD continuum model in conjunction with any of the three DFT functionals (B3LYP, M06-2X, and M11) agrees with the observed experimental values. The highest correlation to experimental data for the octanol/water partition coefficients was reached by the M11 functional; for the octanol/air partition coefficient, the M06-2X functional yielded the best performance.

  • Raoult's Law – Partition Law
    BAE 820 Physical Principles of Environmental Systems Henry’s Law - Raoult's Law – Partition law Dr. Zifei Liu Biological and Agricultural Engineering Henry's law • At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. Pi = KHCi • Where Pi is the partial pressure of the gaseous solute above the solution, C is the i William Henry concentration of the dissolved gas and KH (1774-1836) is Henry’s constant with the dimensions of pressure divided by concentration. KH is different for each solute-solvent pair. Biological and Agricultural Engineering 2 Henry's law For a gas mixture, Henry's law helps to predict the amount of each gas which will go into solution. When a gas is in contact with the surface of a liquid, the amount of the gas which will go into solution is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. An equivalent way of stating the law is that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. the solubility of gases generally decreases with increasing temperature. A simple rationale for Henry's law is that if the partial pressure of a gas is twice as high, then on the average twice as many molecules will hit the liquid surface in a given time interval, Biological and Agricultural Engineering 3 Air-water equilibrium Dissolution Pg or Cg Air (atm, Pa, mol/L, ppm, …) At equilibrium, Pg KH = Caq Water Caq (mol/L, mole ratio, ppm, …) Volatilization Biological and Agricultural Engineering 4 Various units of the Henry’s constant (gases in water at 25ºC) Form of K =P/C K =C /P K =P/x K =C /C equation H, pc aq H, cp aq H, px H, cc aq gas Units L∙atm/mol mol/(L∙atm) atm dimensionless -3 4 -2 O2 769 1.3×10 4.26×10 3.18×10 -4 4 -2 N2 1639 6.1×10 9.08×10 1.49×10 -2 3 CO2 29 3.4×10 1.63×10 0.832 Since all KH may be referred to as Henry's law constants, we must be quite careful to check the units, and note which version of the equation is being used.
